MOSS Search - Authoritative Pages

In this part of the series we will take a look at setting up authoritative pages, which allows influencing the order of results coming from different content sources. You can specify which pages have higher or lower priority when appearing in the search results by providing a rank for pages or sites.

To add a site/page to Authoritative (or non-authoritative - demoted) pages:

  1. Go to Sharepoint Administration Site and click on the link under "Shared Services Administration" in the "Quick Launch" panel to open the Shared Services web site.
    1. Open the Search Settings page by clicking on the Search Settings link in the Search section of Shared Services site
    2. In the Authoritative Pages section follow the Specify Authoritative Pages linkimage
    3. Fill out the Specify Authoritative Pages form providing the URL's for sites/pages having most and least influence on the order of search results.
      1. Most Authoritative sites: http://prod.moss.com/most_important_site
      2. Least Authoritative sites: http://stage.moss.com/dont_care_about_search.aspx
    4. Press "Ok" to save results.

Changing Content Type Hub URL

Change the Hub URL through powershell by using: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity " " -HubURI " " For Ex: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity "Managed Metadata Service" -HubURI "http://contenttype.Domain.Com" When you try to do this you get this rather scary message: This is SharePoint telling you that this is a major thing so be careful! Essentially all your content types that you have published out will be removed if they can, and you have to republish all of your content types out again which can cause some issue.
